WATER-FRONT FOR STOVES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 398,788, dated February26, 1889.

Application filed April 12, 1888. $erial No. 270,495. (No model.).

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, TITUs F. HUTZEL, a citizen of the United States,residing at Ann Arbor, in the conntyof \Vashtenaw and State of iMichigan, have invented a new and useful, \Vater-Frmit for Stoves orRanges, of which 1 H G K L give much additional heating-sun thefollowing is a specification.

My invention relates to water-fronts or water-backs for heating water ina stove, range, or other [ire-place; and my invention consists of thedevice illustrated in the accompanying drawing and herein described,reference being made to said drawing, which is a perspective view of thedevice.

A B is a hollow casting, Within from the inlet-pipe C to the end A,which communicates with the clean-out hole F and the outlet-pipe N M.This casting is of the external form shown in outline.

to facilitate cleaning and prevent the lodg ment of dirt and ashes asfar as practicable.

The inlet-pipe G and the outlet-pipe N M, as I ner of connecting theparts of my device, or

well as the plug P to close the clean-out hole other suitable device, ifdesired.

ing no interior partitioi'i. as required for water-backs of the ordinaryform. out hole 15 makes the coring for this casting A B much easier.

ch eape n It is well known that water-backs fill up in theoutlet'passage by incrustation and de posit-not in the inlet; also, thatin consequence they have to be abandoned, as they will not pass thewater through them, and an entirely new water-back substituted at someexpense and inconvenience. N M takes the place of the said outletpassagein this water-back.

having a passage 1 E, passes along within the casting A B from Thesurface H G K L is curved and sloped, so as i The clean- The productionof the casting A B is by these means made easier and j 2 cilitatecleaning and molding said castingA The outlet-pipe When it becomesincrusted, or otherwise wholly or partially stopped or clogged, it maybe disconnected from the rest of the hot-water piping, disconnected fromthe casting A l3, and cleaned, or a new pipe substituted at a triflingexpense or inconvenience.

The outlet-pipe N M and the curved surface face over the old form ofwater-back. By disconnecting the inlet-pipe C and removing the plug Pfrom the hole F the entire interior passage of the casting A B is madeaccessible for cleaning. There is no provision of this kind in commonwater-backs.

The operation of myinvention is as follows: ater enters the inlet-pipe Cat the entrance B to A, returns through the outlet-pipe N M, and passesout of X M at 1) and into the hotwater system, heated by being incontact with the hot iron of the casting A B and the outlet-pipe N M.

I disclaim any intention of resting my invention upon the sizes,adjustment, or manupon the kinds of materials used in its construction,as these are notesscntialtoits completeness.

\Vhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-

A water-back casting, A B, as shown, with a curved and sloping surface,H G K L, which is adapted to have the outlet-pipe N M of the water-backpass in front of it, with an offset at the end A, as represented, forreceiving this outlet-pipe N M, a clean-out hole, F, to fa- B, with itsclosing device, as the plug P, and an inlet for the pipe (l, incombination with the said outlet-pipe N H, detachahly secured, for thepurposes specified, as shown and described.
